Siraj reported corrupt approach to BCCI ACU before Australia tour: BCCI source

An unknown person wanted "inside news" about his team

ITDC INDIA EPRESS/ ITDC NEWS : India pacer Mohammed Siraj had reported a "corrupt approach" to BCCI's Anti Corruption Unit (ACU) from an unknown person, who wanted "inside news" about his team before Australia arrived in the country for a full-fledged tour in February this year.

The India pacer, who is playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing IPL, promptly reported the matter to BCCI's ACU unit.

It is understood that the gambler had lost a lot of money during the India games and messaged Siraj out of sheer frustration.

India had played white-ball home series against New Zealand and Sri Lanka in January-February before Australia arrived. India won the T20 series against Sri Lanka 2-1 before blanking them 3-0 in the ODI series.
